The Big Show recently spoke with Sports Illustrated. Here are some highlights from the interview:

His commentary work: “That’s definitely a possibility. That’s something I’ve discussed quite heavily with Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and JBL. I need to sit down with Vince and Hunter to see what’s next for the Big Show. Vince is all about giving opportunity, and Hunter is, too. Doing color commentary to help get the talent over is not something I’m opposed to doing. I could speak from my experience, but my number one goal would be to highlight why you should pay attention to what you are seeing in the ring.”

Big Show on going to the indies: “That’s never crossed my mind, and it’s something I’ve never been asked. But let’s be clear–I don’t have the talent that Cody Rhodes has. I think Cody is one of the most underrated and underused talents that we ever let go. I was a huge fan of Cody, his ideas, and what he could have brought to the table, and I’m so happy that his success outside of WWE has been so good. Sometimes in this business, you have to go away to come back. You have to find out who you are. For me, at this stage in the game, I’m enjoying helping the next generation. I did everything I could to pass the torch to Braun. I had a hip resurfaced a couple months ago, so Vince and Hunter want me to finish on my main goal, which is getting healthy. Then we’ll discuss my future. There are a lot of projects I want to do with producing and acting outside of wrestling. As far as an indie run, I don’t know, but you never say never.”

Thoughts on WWE tending to rush storylines: “Sometimes, when stories are rushed or put together too fast, people can’t enjoy them. That’s the only criticism I have with our industry right now, it’s really tough to build stories like we used to. The writing was on the wall for my fight with Braun Strowman, because he looked like my replacement as the next dominant giant. When I came out in ’95, even though it was part of the storyline, I was known as the next evolution of Andre, the next giant. I was that young, athletic, trash-talking monster. That was my introduction to the industry, and I was able to build on that. Braun Strowman is the next evolution of that monster. He’s athletic and explosive. I think Kane is fantastic, but I don’t think people were ready for the angle between Kane and Braun or their match. Technically, psychologically, mechanically, there is nothing wrong with the matches, but people don’t like the story of the two opponents in the match. The crowd hasn’t been able to get into it yet, but with social media and our business, criticism is going to be a lot more prevalent.”

Charlotte Flair has penned a letter to her father on the Players Tribune. Here is an excerpt:

“Dear Dad,

It’s that moment when you appear from behind the curtain.

Every single night, before I perform, I think about what you told me. That the single most important part of any match is when you walk out onto the stage — and the crowd sees you for the first time.

“Whether it’s 50 people in an auditorium or 100,000 in a stadium,” you said. “The instant they see you, they can tell right away whether or not you really believe in yourself.”

I remember my first match, standing in the dark, listening to my heart racing. I knew the crowd was just waiting — not waiting for me, but waiting to judge the next person they saw emerge onto the stage. I knew my peers were watching on the monitor just a few feet away. I felt the walls closing in. I could barely breathe. It was like I had forgotten everything I had learned about wrestling up to that point.

People were going to think I was a fraud — that I was just trying to piggyback a career off of your name. I wasn’t Charlotte Flair yet. I was still just Ric Flair’s daughter. I feared the worst.

I mean, how could I really be prepared? How could anyone live up to the legacy of Ric Flair? The Nature Boy! The limousine-ridin’, jet-flyin’, etc. etc. — Ric Flair! One of the most decorated superstars in the history of sports entertainment. It was an impossible expectation to live up to.

In that moment, I actually feared that I wasn’t made for WWE. Quitting wasn’t an option … but how was I going to commit 100 percent when I was afraid of my own shadow?

I was nervous about the fans in the crowd. I was nervous about the Superstars in the back. But most of all, I was nervous about one very specific thought.

I couldn’t bear the thought of disappointing you.”

Welcome to 205 Live, the fastest hour on television!

Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness welcome us to the show, and hype tonight’s title fight. Then it’s time for the entrances for our first match… along with a recap of the division’s tag match from the PPV.

Rich Swann kicks off the show and is ready for some tag team action. We’ve been getting a lot of tag team matches as of late, are we going to get Cruiserweight Tag Titles soon?

Rich Swann & Cedrix Alexander Vs. Tony Nese & Noam Dar

Tony Nese and Cedric Alexander start the match together. Right away, Nese stops Alexander to show off his physique. Alexander responds by completely overwhelming Nese with his quick striking ability.

In comes Swann, springboard kick, suplex/rolling splash combo by Swann and Alexander. Nese able to get to his corner and bring in Dar, quick counters by both wrestlers, Nese gets the blind tag and Swann finds out the hard way, getting run over on the floor. Nese jams Swann’s back into the barricade and poses once again.

Dar back in, and Swann is having trouble now, he really could use a breather as Dar just chucks him leg-first into the ropes. Nese tagged in and gets Swann in the tree of woe, big knees to the midsection and then Nese does some crunches while kicking away at Swann. Dar tries his own version, but doesn’t quite do it right, the two bicker back and forth. Swann almost gets away, but Dar drags him back to the opposite side of the ring and brings Nese in once again. Swann gets in a spinning strike and lands on his opponent for the pin, but Dar pulls him out to the floor to breakup the pinfall.

Swann finally able to get away and brings in Alexander who drops Dar with clotheslines, elbows, and kicks. Alexander with a back handspring kick, pin, Dar kicks out at two. Alexander to the apron, dodges Nese (who flies to the floor). Alexander is momentarily distracted as The Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher are now watch on the stage. Dar locks in a submission, Nese pulls Swann off the apron, but he gets back into the ring, kicks Dar off and then hits a crazy phoenix splash to the floor. Alexander nails the lumbar check for the victory.

Winners: Alexander & Swann

After the match, Alexander and Swann lean on the ropes and look up the ramp. Gallagher says they aren’t here for a fight, but are extending an olive branch. Kendrick says they saw Alexander’s brutality and think he has tons of potential, but he can’t have that “dead weight, dancing clown” by his side. Gallagher says some people simply don’t have “cruelty” that will help you get higher up the ladder. Gallagher says him and Kendrick are coming for Swann next week. Kendrick says Alexander needs to come up with a decision by next week, or they will make one for him.

We see Drew Gulak walking to the ring backstage and we head to some commercials.

Drew Gulak Vs. Gran Metalik

Right away Gulak yells at Metalik, “you stay on the ground!” as we get things started. However, it doesn’t take long before Matalik is air born with a missile dropkick, then he walks the ropes and pulls off a nice moonsault all the way to the floor, taking out Gulak.

Metalik tries to go up once again, but Gulak knocks him down, he then works a chin bar submission to slow things back down. Metalik recovers and hits a super snapmare then a superkick to stun Gulak. Metalik walks the ropes again and hits another dropkick.

Metalik up yet again, he walks the ropes and hits a splash, pin, only a two count. Gulak looking for a suplex, Metalik with a roll through, pin, two. Gulak with a boot to the midsection, charges in, gets put up on the second rope. Super hurricanrana by Metalik into a pin, two! Gulak tries to jump into the ring, Metalik catches him on his shoulders, Gulak counters into a dragon sleeper, which gets him the tapout win.

Winner: Drew Gulak

Post-match, Gulak gets his sign and puts Metalik’s leg on the bottom rope. He looks to severely injure his opponent, but out comes Tozawa. He dodges a sign strike and kicks Gulak out of the ring.

Backstage, Dasha Fuentes is with Kalisto and asks about what he’s thinking before his upcoming rematch. Kalisto responds he’s confident and knows he can beat Enzo, just like he did before. Kalisto says he’s taking back what’s his and heads off.

Enzo heads to the ring with Ariya Daivari, but since his voice is still…sawft…Daivari takes the mic and says Enzo is the best thing to happen to 205 Live. He then rips on the hometown’s sports team and does Enzo’s dance. Daivari then talks some trash to Kalisto before the challenger heads out.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match
(C) Enzo Amore Vs. Kalisto

Kalisto with a big kick, sending Enzo right out of the ring. Enzo back in the ring, he crawls to the ropes to force the ref to keep Kalisto away. Enzo slinks to the corner and Kalisto is trying to get after him. The referee continues to pull Kalisto away until Enzo can dump Kalisto over the top rope and down to the floor. Kalisto holding his ankle as the referee gets his count on, getting to 7 before he can jump in the ring. Enzo immediately throws him back out to the floor, but the challenger gets back in.

Kalisto and Enzo on the second rope, Kalisto knocks Enzo down, but Enzo able to rip Kalisto down. Enzo keeps trying to get some space, but Kalisto grabs his foot. “You’re not going anywhere!” Enzo punches and kicks away at Kalisto, Enzo looks for his finisher, but Kalisto hits a windmill driver along the apron! Kalisto is slow to get up though getting back in the ring at 9.

Enzo tries to get away, gets on the ropes, but gets kick in the head. Ugly looking tornado DDT by Kalisto, jumps to the top rope, but Enzo kicks the official into the ropes and Kalisto crumples to the mat. The referee ends up calling the match, but that means Enzo remains champion.

Winner Via Disqualification: Kalisto

After the match, Enzo retreats up the ramp, holding his title with a smug smile. Kalisto runs after him and attacks a few times until the referee separates them. Kalisto returns to the ring and kicks the rope as Enzo grabs his mic and announces himself as still the Champion.

That’s it for this week’s 205 Live! Let us know your thought in the comments and I will see you back here next week for Monday Night Raw! Until then, safe travels!

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Two nights ago and WWE No Mercy, Enzo Amore defeated Neville to become the Cruiserweight Champion. There’s a sentence I never wanted to write. Yes, Enzo defeated Neville, albeit via a low blow, and he is the new King of the Cruiserweights.

Last night on Raw, Enzo Amore demanded a celebration of his big win, in which he wanted to retire his jersey. Then all of the cruiserweights came onto the stage and one-by-one Enzo insulted each of them, in very heel-like fashion. The former Champion, Neville, then came out and told Enzo some harsh truths: that nobody liked him, that he can’t wrestle, that the division regrets giving him a chance, and that he, on behalf of the division, will end him. Neville proceeded to come down to the ring and destroy Enzo – apparently eliminating himself from a title rematch. After Raw went off the air, Braun Strowman came down and further demolished Enzo by landing a running powerslam, and is if that wasn’t enough, the rest of the cruiserweights came down and beat on Enzo, hitting their finishers in the process. It was a really great segment if you really dislike Enzo Amore.

So, tonight, the Champion will get a chance to respond to the entire division and we should find out if Enzo is now a full heel. Also, who is the number one contender now that Neville is out of the running? Cedric Alexander? Rich Swann? Hopefully we get an idea tonight. That’s it for our preview, remember to join the conversation on the Ringside Talk app and enjoy the show!
